What kind of exercise can I do to lose weight after a caesarean section?

I believe that many pregnant women will feel the same way. During pregnancy, they will eat a lot and accumulate a lot of body fat. After giving birth, the fat will still remain on the body, affecting their body shape. Pregnant women who have undergone caesarean section actually need more time to recover, because they have to wait for the wound to heal before they can engage in more activities. Otherwise, the wound is likely to heal more slowly or cause other adverse symptoms. After the wound of a cesarean section mother has healed and the confinement period is over, she can lose weight through exercise, such as walking, deep breathing, chest exercises, etc. The amount and intensity of exercise should be adapted slowly, and not too intense all at once, as the body will not be able to bear it.

walk

Walking is low-intensity and easy to do. It is the simplest and most effective way to exercise. However, please note that walking also needs to be gradual and planned. When you first start walking, it is best to walk for 5 to 10 minutes at a time, and then slowly increase to about 30 minutes each time. It is best not to increase the time by more than 5 minutes each time, and increase it one time at a time.

Take a deep breath

Deep breathing can help promote vaginal recovery and prevent uterine prolapse. The mother can lie on her back or side on the bed, inhale slowly, consciously tighten the muscles around the vagina and anus, hold her breath for 1 to 3 seconds and then slowly relax and breathe, repeat 5 times.

Postpartum Yoga

Postpartum mothers can learn postpartum yoga exercises, which not only helps the body recover, but also makes the body become slender and beautiful. It can exercise different parts of the body specifically. However, postpartum yoga is not the same as yoga. It should be done when it is suitable for you. It is best to consult a yoga teacher.

Chest Exercises

Chest exercises can restore breast elasticity and prevent sagging. Method: Lie flat on your back with your hands flat on both sides. Raise your hands straight forward, stretch your arms to the left and right and lay them flat. Then raise them until your palms meet. Then stretch your arms straight and lay them flat behind your back, then return them to your chest and back to the original position. Repeat 5 to 10 times.

Hip Exercises

Hip exercises can encourage the contraction of the hip and thigh muscles. Method: Lie flat on your back, bend your left leg until your heel touches your buttocks and your thigh is close to your abdomen, then straighten it and lower it down, alternating between left and right, performing the same action 5 to 10 times.
